What Fruits to Avoid for People with Kidney Failure

Fruits to Avoid for People with Kidney Failure

In Kidney Failure, the kidneys are damaged and they are not
able to filter the metabolic products normally as before. Therefore, they should
especially be cautious about what they eat. So, what fruits to
avoid for them?
Fruits high in potassium
The failed kidneys can not filter potassium normally as before thus causing
hyperkalemia. If the serum sodium level is higher than normal (3.5~5.5 mmol/L),
it is very likely to cause irregular heart beat or heart failure. Potassium is
usually restricted to 2,000mg per day. The common fruits rich in potassium
mainly include banana, oranges, peaches, watermelon etc.

Fruits rich in phosphorus
Phosphorus tends to accumulate in the blood of people with Kidney Failure. If
the phosphorus is too high in blood, it will pull calcium from the bones, making
them weak. Generally speaking, the patients are recommended to restrict the
phosphorus intake to 800mg to 1000 mg per day. The fruits high in phosphorus
mainly include longans, litchis, jujube, figs, apricots, plums, persimmons
etc.
Besides limiting the consumption of foods high in phosphorus and sodium, the
patients with Kidney Failure should also keep the following dietary
principles.

☆ Low protein
Generally speaking, the patients who are not undergoing dialysis should
restrict protein intake to 0.6 g to 0.8 g per kilogram of body weight. Moreover,
they should keep 50% of the dietary protein should be of high biologic value. A
low protein diet can slow down the progression of renal failure. The recommended
foods containing high biological value mainly include milk, egg white, and lean
meat. Meanwhile, they should cut the vegetable proteins from their diet such as
bean products, dried nuts such as peanut, nut, sunflower etc.

☆Low-sodium
High blood pressure is commonly seen among people with Kidney Failure. If the
sodium intake is high, it can cause retention of fluid and sodium thus
aggravating high blood pressure. The patients are recommended to restrict the
sodium intake to 2,000 mg per day. The common foods are particularly high in
sodium mainly include cured meat, cheese, canned soups, packaged mixes and some
snack foods such as chips, salted popcorn etc.

A healthy diet can slow the progression of Kidney Disease and delay the
approaching of dialysis.
